Rites
This is a space for women moving through inner upheaval, when life cracks you open, identities dissolve, and the old map no longer works.
Together, we explore rites of passage through Tarot, ritual, and deep integration, creating a place to listen, remember, and come home.
What this is:
Rites is a community devoted to the exploration of rites of passage and the transitions that shape our lives.
Birth and loss.
Motherhood, grief, burnout, aging.
Dying.
This is about the quiet dissolving of who we thought we were as we transition to the next phase of life.
This space is about making meaning of these moments through:
Tarot as a window for reflection and insight (not as fortune telling)
Ritual as a way of honoring transition (not to “manifest” or change something)
Writing, inquiry, and shared presence
Deep listening to ourselves and one another
This space is not about fixing or changing who you are. It’s not about manifesting more money or a smaller dress size.
It’s about accepting what is present now and having the courage to step forward to the next phase of life.
Why Rites of Passage Matter
Modern life has forgotten how to hold transition.
We move from one role to another without pause, without witness, without meaning, and wonder why we feel lost, fragmented, or numb.
Rites of passage were never about answers.
They were about being seen while crossing.
This community exists to reclaim that space.
What You’ll Find Here
Reflections and writing on liminal seasons of life
Tarot shared as a mirror, not a prediction
Simple rituals you can return to in your own time

The role of the Tarot Reader is often depicted as a “old witchy woman” turning over the death card and warning of dark things to come. While I’m a little on the witchy-side, this isn’t your stereotypical reading.
